Should I stay or should I go?

I was wondering if I should try again...

Have a nice Wednesday!

Take Me Out

I found a funny website today called Sketchfu. It's quite fun if you know how to draw. I'm not very good, but I gave it a try... I had "Take me out" by Franz Ferdinand playing in my brain.

Digitales at old people's home

Tiina and I started a Digitales Workshop in Vantaa, near Helsinki. This time we're at an old people's home, so it's not like when we teach in schools, where we just tell students what to do. With the elderly, the process is slower and more "one-on-one".

First we need to sit, have a cup of coffee, eat cookies and talk about the old times... Little by little they start telling us what they could make their films about. Then we need to find a focus, polish the idea, write the story... then record the voiceover... and that's been rough! They are so afraid of the microphone!!! I need to find a way to make them ignore it.

However, I'm extremely optimistic! They have wonderful stories. Mere childhood memories or life in Karelia before the Winter War... Helsinki being bombed in Second World War... Life stories that tell personal views on young Finnish History.

It’s been really interesting. I just can't wait to see the results!

More Happy Birthdays...

My father and I (1980)

Me and my little bro, JR (2003)

My father and JR celebarte birthday in the same day (07/06).

That's why, when JR was young, he used to think he and my father were twins... :-D As a mater of fact, nowadays it feels like JR and I are twins, even though I'm 6 years older! Aren't we alike? I like to think if I were a man, I'd be as handsome as him ;-)

Happy birthday, dears!

Miika, saving the day since 1972

Hyvää Syntymäpäivä, Rakkaani!

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

They asked me which animal would I be, if I were an animal. I don't know why, I thought "horse", but I said dog. That was stupid. There's a huge difference in being like a dog, and wanting to have a dog! I had this question in my mind for a couple of days...

You'd be a War Horse. Strong, brave and loyal like a war horse you are protective of family and friends and generally polite and freindly to people you dont know or just met. However your attitude can change quickly if your family or friends are threatened in anyway and you quickly fight it off. However because of your protective attitude you can oftern find yourself getting angry and interfering if you see anyone being threatened and cant defend themselves. How about you? What animal would you be?
